NFBC Message Boards

Ha, I don’t remember what I did yesterday, let alone anything I asked b4 the season. FWIW, I know it’s the “right” thing to say that winning this year shouldn’t be any lesser of an accomplishment, but we all know it is, even if some can’t/won’t say asterisk. That’s okay, your rankings so you get to...

Apologies for the laziness; however does this partial year (60 games season) factor the same as if it was a full season (162 game season) in your calculations? 37% equivalent to 100%? Even though I know this is a statement, not a question ... team management skills on full display, more than ever t...

OK, so I dabbled in changing methodology for this list last year, but ultimately did not change it. Too much work, plus I really didn't want to change it as I had used the same method for 15 years thru 2018 - I like consistency. But it needed changing because multi-entry teams were overwhelming high...

Oops, I skimmed over the "in no order". But I think ▲ is a fair order.

Here are my first rounders for next year. Like this season, they could change tomorrow :) In no order.... Trout Yelich Acuna Betts Cole deGrom Bieber Story Soto Turner Bellinger Tatis Lindor Ramirez Harper Tatis being dissed once again next year, Dan ... how about this? 1. Tatis • 115 career games ...

Hi KJ - You must be just making a general observation about "quitters" as I don't see anyone quitting here. What I do see is a total MLB shit show. Greg's game is still fantastic and the best on the planet; however COVID and MLBs handling of it is turning this all into one big dart throw or a push ...

I don't disagree with you KJ. And you must be reading Keith Olbermann, Joe Sheehan and many others right now!! :lol: Yeah. The whiner's circle! The games are fun, each game means more and bad teams are playing better in many cases because they know they have a one-time chance to out-play more talen...

I see lots of quitters and other weak-willed people on social media. And some in real life. They can't wait to quit, or close, or cancel anything, at the first sign of struggle. "It's too hard, just shut it down" - they seem to be rooting for as much. Including lots of sportswriters. Those people h...

Are we zooming the Sunday night league? I want to see pigs in the background!

Now Manfred says MLB will be lucky to play its full 60 game season. Not sure what that really means. Does it mean that they may miss some games and here and there due to complications, or is he saying that at some point they will probably just have to shut the whole thing down and give up? The latt...

If Freddy bounces back quickly from symptoms it could make other players a lot more comfortable seeing a typical recovery for a healthy young athlete. Rooting for FF.

I will definitely do some of these. I have been wanting this format for a while, and if i am not mistaken it has never existed. i think, the closest thing was cutline, but cutline has a couple of FAABs. I hope these stick around. I mean nobody really wants to set a lineup every week in Draft Champi...

Yes!

Great idea, Greg. Not as good as LV but definitely more fun than just staring at team name boxes.

OK, I'll play the contrarian: I think that everything should just be pro-rated, like the player salaries, at roughly 37%. So an entry fee of $625 leads to a grand prize of $55,000. If that lower fee generates a higher number entries you can upwardly adjust the payoffs as soon as the season begins. ...

So owners who paid for 100 games of Pineda are just wrong? Dude he is just....GONE lol 2020 over. Some $1,000 Draft Champions owner is just staring at a blank spot on his roster now (PS-I have never actually drafted Michael Pineda :D but not for lack of talent. I just remember watching that dang Ya...

No one believes it won't have an impact. The argument is that we're all in the same boat, i.e., equal opportunity not equal outcome. Sorry but I've never agreed with that statement. There are a myriad of draft strategies that have won titles and have already been deployed for drafted teams, and it'...

Greg, nicely done, and I'm glad not to be in your shoes!...but it seems to me that using free agency as the basis of your rationale for refunds would lead to keeping free agency leagues and refunding draft and hold leagues. I'm thinking of the scenario where star players decide not to play during t...

Go back to basics, Greg!

I sent you a check for $1,250 for 2004's Main Event and I didn't even know you back then. Don't go backwards, virus or not.

Well done - Greg and all the decision-makers at sportshub. In a crisis you see who are the good people, and the smart businesses.

Looking forward to seeing some wild races and crazy strategies unfold in this year's NFBC.

Finally, something almost official. @BNightengale #MLB and the #MLBPA continue to exchange ideas with the health and safety protocols. There are no major snags. The union already informed MLB that it plans to play, and be in spring training camps by July 1 with a 60-game season starting July 24-26 w...

Edit- So nothing official until later in week regarding already drafted leagues. Gotcha

Why should we announce our plans when all of this could still blow up?

That's what Manfred would do. 100%.

You can't have NFBC message boards without conspiracy theories. That would be like lemonade without water.

L.A. Beast says no problem.
